The Alto-Shaam AR-7E/SP is a countertop electric rotisserie oven designed for high-volume cooked chicken production in commercial foodservice environments. It uses a combination of high-velocity convection and radiant heating to cook on seven skewers simultaneously, with the option to run single or dual-stage cooking cycles depending on the product and finish required. The single pane glazing gives a clear view of the product throughout the cook cycle.
In busy kitchen and retail environments — supermarket hot counters, food-to-go operations, pub kitchens, and casual dining — rotisserie units like this are valued for their consistency and throughput. The dual-stage cooking option allows operators to push for speed during peak service or dial back to a gentler finish cycle when presentation matters. Recovery between loads is well suited to continuous service rather than batch cooking with long gaps.
From an operational standpoint, this unit offers a number of practical advantages:
- Visible cooking adds display value in front-of-house or counter settings
- Single and dual-stage cycles give flexibility across different menu applications
- Countertop format keeps the footprint contained on busy service lines
- Compatible with matching Alto-Shaam holding cabinets for stacking and extended hold
- Stainless steel construction supports the cleaning regimes expected in commercial kitchens
This is a three-phase unit drawing 8.8kW, so a suitable electrical supply and professional installation are essential before the unit arrives on site. At 164kg it is a substantial piece of equipment — access routes, floor loading, and positioning should all be considered at the planning stage. The countertop format assumes a robust, level surface capable of bearing that load, or a purpose-matched base or holding cabinet beneath it.
The AR-7E/SP is well suited to operations with a consistent demand for cooked chicken — food-to-go retailers, supermarket deli counters, rotisserie-focused restaurant concepts, or contract catering sites where volume justifies a dedicated unit. For very high-volume sites running extended service periods, it is worth considering whether a larger-capacity configuration would better match throughput requirements. Equally, smaller operations with modest demand may find a lower-capacity unit a more practical fit.
If you would like to talk through whether this unit suits your service volume and installation setup, the team is happy to work through the details with you before you commit.
£26,474.00(£31,768.80 inc VAT)
The Alto-Shaam AR-7EVH/DP is a three-phase electric rotisserie oven with a fully integrated double-pane ventless hood. It is designed to cook and display whole chickens and similar rotisserie items at front-of-house or counter positions without requiring a fixed extraction canopy above it. The self-contained venting system draws steam, fumes, grease, and odour from the cooking chamber through internal filtration, making it a practical option for operators who want to place a live rotisserie where a traditional extraction installation would not be feasible.
In a busy service environment this unit is capable of handling up to 28 whole chickens per load, which makes it well suited to high-throughput sites such as supermarkets, large food-to-go operations, and casual dining restaurants where rotisserie is a main revenue line. The high-powered airflow draws cooking vapours away effectively enough during continuous service, and because it operates on three-phase power it delivers consistent heat throughout the cook cycle without the recovery limitations sometimes seen on single-phase alternatives.
From an operational standpoint, the ventless design opens up placement options that a conventional rotisserie simply does not allow. Key practical advantages include:
- No fixed extraction canopy needed, reducing both installation cost and complexity
- Visible cooking creates a genuine display feature that supports front-of-house sales
- Double-pane glazing helps retain heat and reduces surface temperature on the exterior
- Internal filtration system captures grease and smoke at source, aiding kitchen hygiene
- Stainless steel construction throughout supports ease of cleaning and long service life
Installation still requires a suitable three-phase electrical supply and adequate clearance around the unit given its size and weight of 218kg — positioning and floor loading should be confirmed before ordering. While the ventless hood removes the need for overhead extraction, the internal filters require regular cleaning and replacement to maintain effective performance; factor this into your maintenance schedule. The unit is intended for fixed placement rather than frequent repositioning.
This rotisserie is best suited to operators running a dedicated rotisserie programme at meaningful volume — supermarket delis, larger food-to-go counters, or restaurant groups where chicken is cooked and sold continuously throughout the day. For smaller operations where a full 28-chicken capacity would be underutilised, a lower-capacity model may offer a more proportionate fit, while sites with even higher throughput requirements may benefit from exploring a heavier-duty configuration.
If you are unsure whether this unit suits your site layout, available power supply, or projected service volumes, our team is happy to talk it through before you commit.
£13,336.00(£16,003.20 inc VAT)
The Alto-Shaam 1000-TH/SX is the largest single-compartment model in the Alto-Shaam cook and hold range, designed to cook and hold up to 54kg of product ready for service. It uses Alto-Shaam's Halo Heat technology — a low-temperature, fanless, waterless heating system that surrounds the food with gentle, consistent radiant heat rather than forced air or moisture. The result is more even cooking, significantly reduced product shrinkage, and food held at consistent temperature without continuing to cook.
In busy service environments, the practical value of a cook and hold oven is substantial. Product can be cooked overnight or during quiet periods and held safely at serving temperature, ready to carve or plate directly through a busy lunch or dinner service. Because Halo Heat operates at low temperatures without fans, there is no surface drying and no need to manage moisture levels manually. Recovery between loads is straightforward, and the oven maintains stable hold temperatures reliably over extended periods — which matters when service runs longer than expected.
From an operational standpoint, the benefits that kitchen teams tend to notice most are:
- Reduced shrinkage compared with conventional high-temperature roasting
- Consistent results across repeated cooks with minimal supervision
- Programmable recipe storage for up to eight settings, reducing reliance on staff memory
- Simple icon-based touch controls with a single knob, accessible for all skill levels
- Cook by time or probe temperature, with separate cook and hold phase settings
Installation is relatively straightforward compared with combi ovens or high-powered equipment, though at 97kg this unit requires proper planning for positioning and access. It is worth confirming electrical supply requirements with your installer before delivery, and ensuring the chosen location allows adequate clearance for door operation and loading. It does not require a water connection or extraction canopy in the way that steam or combi equipment typically does, which simplifies placement in many kitchens.
This model is well suited to high-volume operations — hotels, contract caterers, large pub kitchens, and event catering teams — where holding large quantities of cooked protein at service-ready temperature is a regular requirement. For smaller operations or those cooking in lower volumes, a smaller model within the Alto-Shaam range would likely be a better fit without the same footprint commitment. For sites needing to run multiple product types simultaneously, a multi-compartment configuration may be worth considering.
If you are unsure whether this capacity is right for your service volumes or kitchen layout, the team is happy to work through the options with you before you commit.
£5,586.00(£6,703.20 inc VAT)
The Alto-Shaam 1200-S/SR is a large-capacity heated holding cabinet designed to keep prepared food at a consistent, safe serving temperature for extended periods. It is built for commercial kitchens where food is batch-cooked ahead of service and needs to be held without deteriorating in quality before it reaches the plate.
The cabinet uses Alto-Shaam's Halo Heat technology, which generates a gentle, uniform warmth that surrounds the food rather than blasting it with forced hot air. In practical terms, this means food held for two or three hours before service looks and tastes much closer to freshly cooked — less surface drying, less shrinkage, and better moisture retention. This is particularly relevant in high-volume operations such as hotels, contract catering, central production kitchens, and busy restaurants where covers are spread across a long service window.
From an operational standpoint, the cabinet offers several day-to-day advantages:
- Allows batch cooking hours before service, reducing peak-time pressure on kitchen staff
- Consistent holding temperature reduces food waste from overcooking during hold
- Digital thermostat with electronic display makes temperature monitoring straightforward
- Shelves are removable for cleaning, keeping hygiene management simple
- Stainless steel construction suits high-use, washdown environments
The cabinet is a freestanding unit. Before installation, it is worth confirming that your kitchen layout can accommodate the footprint comfortably, with adequate clearance around the unit for ventilation and access. As a dry heat cabinet, it does not require a water supply or drainage connection, which simplifies placement. Electrical requirements should be confirmed with your installer prior to delivery.
This model is well suited to mid-to-large catering operations that need reliable holding capacity across a full service period. Smaller operations with lighter holding demands may find a more compact model sufficient, while very high-volume central production sites may benefit from a heavier-duty unit with greater capacity.
If you are unsure whether this cabinet is the right fit for your holding volumes or kitchen setup, our team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit to an order.
£24,578.00(£29,493.60 inc VAT)
The Alto-Shaam Converge CMC-H2H SX is a countertop multi-cook oven with two fully independent cooking chambers housed within a single stainless steel unit. Each chamber operates as a standalone oven, allowing different cooking modes (steam, convection bake, grill, air fry, and combination) to run simultaneously without flavour transfer between them. This dual-chamber approach is what distinguishes the Converge from a conventional combi oven, where a single environment limits you to one programme at a time.
In a busy kitchen, the ability to run two entirely separate cooking processes concurrently has a genuine impact on throughput. A kitchen producing a mixed menu can, for example, steam fish in one chamber while baking pastry in the other, without reorganising service flow or waiting for a cavity to clear and reset. Alto-Shaam's Structured Air Technology directs heated air precisely around the product, which supports even cooking results and consistent output across a service period. Recovery between loads is reliable, and the oven handles back-to-back use without significant drop in performance.
From an operational standpoint, the key advantages are:
- Two independent chambers eliminate flavour transfer between different menu items
- Ventless design removes the need for a fixed extraction canopy above the unit
- Self-cleaning function reduces manual cleaning time at end of service
- Simple control interface supports consistent results without extensive training
- Compact footprint relative to running two separate ovens side by side
The CMC-H2H SX runs on three-phase power and at 138kg should be considered a permanent installation rather than something repositioned regularly. The ventless capability is a practical advantage in kitchens where overhead canopy space is limited or costly to extend, but it is worth confirming with your installation team that your site's electrical supply and load capacity are appropriate before ordering. The unit accommodates GN 1/1 or GN 2/3 trays in each chamber, which suits most standard kitchen tray configurations.
This oven is well suited to operations running a varied menu where concurrent cooking of different food types is a daily requirement: hotel kitchens, contract catering, busy restaurants, and central production units are all typical environments. If your volume demands larger chamber capacity or a higher number of shelf levels, there are higher-capacity models in the Converge range worth considering. Equally, for simpler or lower-volume applications, a single-chamber unit may be a more proportionate choice.
If you would like to talk through whether this configuration suits your kitchen's workflow and service demands, the team is happy to go through the detail with you before you commit.
£11,261.00(£13,513.20 inc VAT)
The Alto-Shaam 750-TH/SX is a low-temperature cook and hold oven designed for commercial kitchens where consistent food quality and reduced shrinkage are operational priorities. It uses Alto-Shaam's Halo Heat technology — a fanless, waterless gentle radiant heat system — to cook at lower temperatures over longer periods, preserving moisture and improving yield compared with conventional high-heat cooking methods.
In busy production environments, cook and hold equipment earns its place by decoupling cooking from service. Product can be cooked well ahead of a service period and held at a safe, stable temperature without ongoing deterioration in texture or moisture. The 750-TH/SX handles up to 45kg of product and accepts up to ten 1/1 GN pans, making it practical for banqueting operations, contract catering facilities, and high-volume event kitchens where batch cooking is central to the workflow.
The simple control interface uses icon-based touch controls and a single knob to set cook temperature, cook time, and hold time. Operators can cook by time or via a single temperature probe, and store up to eight programmable recipes — useful for teams where consistency across shifts matters.
- Fanless Halo Heat system reduces moisture loss and improves product yield
- Holds product at stable temperature without overcooking during extended service
- Straightforward controls reduce training time and operator error
- Stackable and counter-friendly footprint supports flexible kitchen layouts
- No water connection required simplifies installation requirements
At 158kg, the unit requires a firm, level surface capable of bearing significant load. The footprint is compact relative to its capacity, and the design supports stacking with compatible Alto-Shaam equipment, which can be useful where vertical space is available. There is no water connection requirement, which removes one installation variable, though electrical supply requirements should be confirmed against your kitchen's current capacity before ordering.
This model suits operations running structured batch production — banqueting teams, large contract catering sites, or central production kitchens. For smaller kitchens with lower throughput needs, a reduced-capacity alternative may be more appropriate, while very high-volume or multi-rack operations may benefit from a larger unit in the range.
If you're unsure whether this model fits your production volumes or kitchen setup, the team is happy to work through the detail with you before you commit.
£19,658.00(£23,589.60 inc VAT)
The Alto-Shaam VECTOR VMC-H3H is a multi-cook oven that operates three completely independent cooking chambers within a single countertop unit. Each chamber has its own temperature, fan speed, and time controls, meaning you can cook three entirely different menu items simultaneously without flavour transfer or the need to compromise on cooking parameters. This is not a combi oven or a convection oven with zones: it is a purpose-built multi-cook platform that replaces the function of several separate appliances.
In a busy kitchen environment, the practical implication of independent chambers is significant. A section running a mixed menu (proteins, pastry, and vegetables, for instance) can manage all three from one machine without the usual sequencing constraints. Recovery between loads is handled per chamber rather than across a shared cavity, which helps maintain consistent results during sustained service. The ventless design removes the requirement for a fixed extraction canopy directly above the unit, giving operators more flexibility in how they position it within the kitchen.
Key operational advantages include:
- Three independent chambers allow simultaneous cooking of different dishes at different temperatures
- Ventless operation removes the dependency on overhead canopy extraction
- Simple control interface reduces the training requirement for kitchen staff
- Compact footprint supports deployment in tight or temporary kitchen configurations
- Stainless steel construction stands up to the demands of daily commercial use
The unit runs on three-phase power, so an appropriate electrical supply must be confirmed before installation. At 131kg it can be positioned on a suitable countertop or equipment stand, but the surface load capacity should be verified. The unit stands 929mm high, so vertical clearance should be checked, and airflow clearance around the unit should be maintained as recommended by Alto-Shaam. Because the operation is ventless, there is no flue or gas connection to consider, which simplifies the installation process considerably.
This model is well suited to smaller restaurants, cafés, hotel kitchen satellites, grab-and-go operations, and any site where menu variety needs to be maintained without the footprint of multiple ovens. It is particularly practical where a canopy installation is not feasible. For higher-volume operations running continuous covers across a full service, a larger-capacity model within the VECTOR range may be worth considering to match throughput requirements.
If you would like to talk through whether this configuration suits your menu and kitchen setup, the team is happy to help before you commit.
£21,918.00(£26,301.60 inc VAT)
The Alto-Shaam 1750-SK/SX is a large-format electric smoker oven designed for commercial kitchens that need to smoke, cook and hold significant volumes of food within a single piece of equipment. Built around Alto-Shaam's Halo Heat technology — a gentle, radiant heat system that surrounds food rather than blasting it with high-velocity air — the 1750-SK/SX is engineered to deliver consistent results across the full 90kg capacity without the temperature spikes and moisture loss associated with conventional high-heat cooking methods. Real wood chips are introduced directly into the unit, allowing operators to achieve genuine smoked flavour without the complexity and compliance demands of traditional pit-smoking or external smoke generators.
In a busy service environment, the two independent compartments allow different products to be smoked or held simultaneously at separate temperatures and times, which gives kitchen teams practical flexibility during peak periods. The Halo Heat approach also means yields are consistently higher than with conventional cooking methods — less shrinkage translates directly into better food cost control over time. The unit can run hot-smoke or cold-smoke cycles, which opens up a wider range of menu applications from slow-cooked meats through to cold-smoked fish, charcuterie and cheeses.
From an operational standpoint, the unit offers several clear advantages for kitchen teams:
- Icon-based touch control with a single dial keeps operation straightforward for all skill levels
- Up to eight programmable recipes reduce reliance on individual operator knowledge
- Cook-by-time or single probe options suit both batch and precision cooking workflows
- Two independent compartments allow simultaneous cooking and holding without cross-contamination of flavour or temperature
- Electric operation removes the need for gas infrastructure or open-flame compliance requirements
Installation requires a dedicated electrical supply — the 5.8kW draw means this should be reviewed with a qualified electrician before placement is finalised. At 200kg the unit requires careful positioning and adequate floor loading should be confirmed. Ventilation requirements should also be assessed prior to installation, as smoke extraction will be needed in most commercial kitchen environments; the unit does not replace the need for appropriate canopy or extraction provision above it. The stainless steel construction is well suited to the rigours of a commercial kitchen environment and supports straightforward cleaning routines.
The 1750-SK/SX is best suited to high-volume operations where smoked product forms a regular and significant part of the menu — barbecue restaurants, large hotel kitchens, contract catering sites, and operations producing smoked product for retail or wholesale. For smaller operations or those exploring smoked menus for the first time, a lower-capacity model is likely to be a more practical and cost-effective starting point. Equally, very high-throughput sites processing significantly greater volumes may find a heavier-duty solution more appropriate.
If you're weighing up whether this model fits your output requirements, fuel infrastructure or available footprint, our team is happy to work through the details with you before you commit.
£20,053.00(£24,063.60 inc VAT)
The Alto-Shaam 1200-TH/SX is a dual-cavity cook and hold oven designed for high-volume commercial kitchens that need to cook large quantities of food to a consistent standard and hold them at serving temperature without loss of quality. It uses Alto-Shaam's proprietary Halo Heat technology — a low-temperature, fanless, waterless radiant heating system that surrounds food with gentle, even heat rather than forcing hot air across it. This approach is central to how the oven performs and is worth understanding before you commit to a purchase.
In practice, Halo Heat produces notably lower shrinkage on proteins compared with conventional forced-air ovens. Operators cooking large volumes of joints, poultry, or pork benefit from higher finished yields per batch, which has a direct effect on food cost over time. Because the two cavities operate independently, you can run different products or programmes simultaneously — useful in kitchens where different menu items need different cook profiles. The simple control interface uses icon-based touch controls and a single knob, with capacity for up to eight stored recipes, which keeps operation straightforward for kitchen teams without extensive training.
Practical operational advantages include:
- Independent dual-cavity control for running separate products simultaneously
- Low-temperature Halo Heat reduces moisture loss and improves yield on proteins
- Holds cooked food at consistent serving temperature without deterioration
- Simple icon-based interface with programmable recipe storage reduces operator error
- Cook-by-time or single probe options suit different production methods
The unit is a floor-standing model with a footprint that suits most larder or production kitchen areas, though at 204kg it will require appropriate handling and positioning on installation. Electrical supply requirements should be confirmed with your installer before delivery. There are no water or drain connections required, which simplifies installation considerably. It is not a ventilated oven in the conventional sense, so standard catering ventilation provisions apply — check with your kitchen designer if you are unsure.
The 1200-TH/SX is well suited to high-volume production operations: hotel banqueting kitchens, contract catering facilities, central production units, and large staff or institutional catering operations where consistent batch cooking and reliable holding are priorities. It is less suited to small or medium kitchens where the throughput does not justify the footprint or capital cost. For operations with lower volume requirements, a single-cavity model may be more appropriate; for sites with significantly greater output demands, higher-capacity options exist within the Alto-Shaam range.
If you are weighing up whether this model fits your production volumes or want to talk through how Halo Heat compares to your current setup, our team is happy to work through the specifics with you before you order.
£4,022.00(£4,826.40 inc VAT)
The Alto-Shaam 300-HW/D6 is a three-pan drop-in hot food well designed for counter service, buffet lines, and servery installations. It uses Alto-Shaam's Halo Heat technology — a low-wattage radiant heating system that surrounds the food pans with gentle, consistent heat rather than relying on steam or boiling water to maintain holding temperatures. The result is a dry well that requires no plumbing connection and no water supply whatsoever, making it considerably simpler to specify and install than a conventional wet well.
In service, the Halo Heat approach is well regarded for maintaining food quality over extended holding periods. Because the heat is applied evenly and at a relatively low intensity, food tends to retain its moisture and texture more reliably than in a steam well, where condensation and uneven temperature distribution can accelerate deterioration. For operators running a carvery, hotel breakfast service, staff canteen, or any operation where food sits on display for an hour or more, that distinction has a real impact on what reaches the customer.
Practical advantages for the day-to-day operation include:
- No water fill, drain, or descaling — significantly reduces daily maintenance
- No steam output at the counter, improving the service environment for staff
- Consistent holding temperature across all three pan positions
- Straightforward electrical connection only — no plumber required for installation
- Stainless steel construction suited to the demands of regular commercial use
Installation requires a suitable electrical supply and a drop-in counter cutout of the appropriate dimensions. Because there is no water or drainage involved, positioning is more flexible than a steam well, and the unit can often be retrofitted into existing servery counters with less disruption. The unit weighs 28kg, which is worth accounting for in counter construction. As with any drop-in well, confirm the counter material and support structure are adequate before proceeding.
This model is well suited to mid-volume operations holding three full-size gastronorm pans simultaneously — carveries, hotel restaurants, staff feeding facilities, and similar environments where a reliable, low-maintenance holding solution is needed. For operations requiring more pan positions or heavier throughput, larger-format wells are available in the range. For smaller serveries or single-operator counters, a reduced-capacity model may be a more practical fit.
If you're unsure whether this unit suits your counter configuration or service volumes, our team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit.
£3,660.00(£4,392.00 inc VAT)
The Alto-Shaam 200-HW/D6 is a drop-in hot food well designed to hold two full 1/1GN pans at consistent serving temperature. Rather than using steam or water to transfer heat, it uses Alto-Shaam's Halo Heat technology — a low-wattage radiant heat system that surrounds food gently and evenly. The result is stable holding without the condensation, sogginess, or flavour loss that wet-heat wells can introduce over a service period.
In practice, this makes a meaningful difference on a busy servery line. Traditional steam wells require water management, descaling, and careful monitoring to avoid running dry. The 200-HW/D6 removes all of that. Because there's no water involved, recovery after loading cold or room-temperature pans is consistent and predictable, and there's no risk of scale build-up affecting performance over time. Food quality is better maintained across a full service, particularly for products that suffer in humid holding environments.
From an operational standpoint, the key advantages are straightforward:
- No water, plumbing, or drainage required — significantly reduces installation complexity
- No descaling or water-related servicing costs over the unit's lifetime
- Gentler heat reduces moisture loss and maintains food texture through service
- Stainless steel construction is robust and straightforward to clean down
- Electrical-only connection keeps installation simple for most counter setups
Installation is straightforward relative to steam alternatives. The unit requires a standard electrical supply and drop-in counter access sized to the unit's footprint. There's no plumbing run required and no drain to plan for, which makes it practical for counters where water supply is limited or inconvenient. It's worth confirming your counter cutout dimensions against the unit specifications before ordering.
The 200-HW/D6 is well suited to cafeterias, hotel servery counters, staff restaurants, and similar operations running a two-pan hot food display. It suits moderate-volume service rather than high-volume operations holding a large number of dishes simultaneously — for those sites, a larger-capacity unit may be more appropriate. Equally, for operations needing only a single pan position, a smaller model may be the better fit.
If you're unsure whether this unit suits your counter configuration or service volume, our team is happy to work through the options with you before you commit.
£3,830.00(£4,596.00 inc VAT)
The Alto-Shaam 500-2D is a two-drawer holding unit built around Alto-Shaam's Halo Heat system — a low-wattage, radiant heat technology that surrounds food with consistent, even warmth rather than relying on forced air or high-intensity elements. The result is a holding environment that keeps food at the correct serving temperature without accelerating moisture loss, skin formation, or surface drying.
In a busy kitchen, the difference between a holding drawer and a good holding drawer shows up during service. Where conventional warmers can leave proteins drying at the edges or sauces skinning over within twenty minutes, the Halo Heat approach is noticeably gentler. Food held in the 500-2D tends to reach the pass in a condition much closer to how it left the stove or oven, which matters when covers are stacking up and timing is difficult to control precisely.
Practical advantages for kitchen teams include:
- Consistent temperature across the full drawer — no hot spots at the element
- Wide temperature range gives control over different food types from the same unit
- Two independent drawers allow simultaneous holding of items at different temperatures
- Low energy draw relative to the holding capacity makes it economical in continuous use
- Simple drawer-pull access suits fast-paced pass environments
Installation is straightforward for a unit of this type. The 500-2D is an electric unit and requires a suitable power supply — confirm the electrical specification with your installation team before ordering. It is a countertop or pass-through unit, so there are no complex ventilation requirements, though adequate clearance around the unit is advisable. At 52kg it is a substantial piece of kit and will need two people to position correctly.
This unit is well suited to mid-volume operations — hotel kitchens, pub restaurants, and contract catering sites where holding capacity needs to be reliable but space on the hot pass is limited. For higher-volume sites running multiple service lines simultaneously, a larger or multi-drawer configuration may be worth considering. Equally, for operators who only need occasional holding, a single-drawer option may suffice.
If you are unsure whether the 500-2D fits your service volume or pass layout, our team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit.
£24,005.00(£28,806.00 inc VAT)
The Alto-Shaam AR-7T is a three-phase electric rotisserie oven designed for high-volume commercial use, capable of holding up to 28 whole chickens per cook cycle. It combines a well-lit, theatre-style cooking chamber with practical self-cleaning technology, making it a realistic option for operations that need consistent rotisserie output without dedicating significant labour time to maintenance.
In a busy kitchen or retail food environment, the AR-7T is built to run continuously through service periods. The illuminated cooking chamber is designed to face front-of-house, supporting impulse sales at counters, deli displays, and food-to-go operations where visible cooking helps drive purchase decisions. Recovery between loads is reliable, and the stackable cabinet design allows operators to expand capacity in a relatively compact footprint where floor space is at a premium.
Where this unit earns its keep operationally is in reducing the time and effort associated with cleaning a rotisserie oven — typically one of the more labour-intensive tasks in any kitchen running this type of equipment. Key practical advantages include:
- Self-cleaning oven cycle reduces post-service labour time
- Automatic grease collection limits manual handling and reduces fire risk
- Stackable design allows capacity to be scaled without significant additional floor space
- Illuminated interior supports front-of-house merchandising and theatre cooking
- Stainless steel construction suited to demanding daily use
Installation requires a three-phase electrical supply, which should be confirmed with your electrical contractor before ordering. At 164kg, the unit will need appropriate floor loading consideration and suitable access during delivery and positioning. The footprint is substantial, so it is worth measuring the intended space carefully, including door widths on the delivery route.
The AR-7T is well suited to supermarket deli counters, food-to-go operators, large catering establishments, and high-volume hospitality sites where rotisserie forms a regular part of the menu. For smaller operations with lower throughput requirements, a reduced-capacity model may be more appropriate; equally, sites running very high volumes across extended service periods may want to discuss whether a larger or multi-unit configuration better fits their needs.
If you would like to talk through whether this unit is the right fit for your setup — including electrical supply, positioning, or volume requirements — the team is happy to work through the detail with you before you commit.
£4,821.00(£5,785.20 inc VAT)
The Alto-Shaam 500-2DI is a two-drawer holding unit designed to keep prepared food at consistent serving temperature without the need for added water or steam. Each drawer operates independently, allowing different food types to be held at different temperatures simultaneously — a practical advantage during varied service periods where multiple dishes need to be ready at the pass at the same time.
At the core of the unit is Alto-Shaam's Halo Heat technology, which uses a low-wattage radiant cable rather than conventional heating elements or wet heat. This approach circulates gentle, even warmth throughout the drawer cavity, preserving food quality, texture, and moisture without the risk of overcooking or drying out. In a busy kitchen environment, that consistency across a full service period is where this type of unit earns its keep.
The independent controls on each drawer make this unit particularly well suited to kitchens running mixed menus — holding proteins in one drawer while maintaining sides or sauces in the other, without compromise to either. Practical benefits include:
- Individual temperature control per drawer for multi-product holding
- No added humidity means no condensation or sogging of food surfaces
- Stainless steel construction supports straightforward daily cleaning
- Compatible with 1/1 GN pans for easy integration with standard kitchen workflows
- Quiet, low-heat operation reduces ambient heat load in the kitchen
Installation is relatively straightforward — the unit is electrically powered and does not require a water or gas connection, which simplifies placement. At 52kg it is a substantial piece of equipment, so bench strength and positioning should be considered before installation. The footprint is compact enough for counter or under-pass placement in most commercial kitchen layouts.
The 500-2DI is well suited to restaurants, hotel kitchens, and contract catering operations where consistent food holding is a daily requirement. For higher-volume operations needing greater capacity, larger multi-drawer configurations are available in the Alto-Shaam range. Equally, for sites with minimal holding requirements, a single-drawer unit may be sufficient.

The Alto-Shaam AR-7E/DP is a countertop electric rotisserie oven designed for high-throughput cooking of whole poultry and similar products. It combines high-velocity convection with radiant heat, giving operators the option of single or dual-stage cooking — a practical choice where both speed and finished product appearance matter. Running on three-phase supply at 8.8kW, it is built for demanding commercial environments rather than occasional use.
In a busy service environment, the dual-stage cooking capability makes a meaningful difference. The initial high-velocity phase drives heat rapidly into the product, while the finishing stage develops colour and skin texture — a combination that supports consistent throughput without compromising presentation. The seven-skewer configuration allows up to 28 chickens to cook simultaneously, making it a practical fit for supermarket rotisserie counters, food-to-go operations, and high-volume hospitality kitchens where cooked poultry is a core part of the offering.
From an operational standpoint, the AR-7E/DP offers several practical advantages:
- Dual-stage cooking improves both speed and finished product quality
- Countertop format makes it straightforward to position within an existing service counter layout
- Compatible with Alto-Shaam holding cabinets, allowing a stacked cook-and-hold configuration
- Stainless steel construction supports the cleaning routines required in a commercial kitchen
- Seven-skewer capacity allows continuous service without batching delays
Installation requires a three-phase electrical supply, so this is not a unit that can simply be plugged in anywhere. At 164kg and with a footprint of just over a metre wide, the physical placement and structural support of the counter or surface it sits on are worth confirming before delivery. Ventilation requirements should be assessed as part of your kitchen planning — the combination of high-velocity convection and open product loading means adequate extraction is important.
The AR-7E/DP is well suited to operations where whole-bird rotisserie is a regular, high-volume product line — supermarkets, specialist poultry retailers, large food courts, and catering operations with consistent poultry demand. For lower-volume sites, a smaller-capacity rotisserie may represent a more appropriate investment. For operations requiring significantly greater throughput or continuous production across multiple shifts, it is worth exploring whether a larger or multi-unit configuration would better serve the site.
If you are weighing up whether the AR-7E/DP is the right fit for your operation — in terms of output, electrical requirements, or how it integrates with your service counter — we are happy to talk it through before you commit.

The Alto-Shaam AR-7HT is a hot holding cabinet designed specifically for rotisserie operations. Its primary function is to hold cooked product — chickens, joints, and similar items — at consistent serving temperatures for extended periods after cooking, without the deterioration in quality that conventional holding methods can cause. It is not a cooking unit; it works downstream of the rotisserie oven to bridge the gap between production and service.
The cabinet uses Alto-Shaam's Halo Heat technology, which distributes gentle, radiant warmth evenly throughout the interior rather than relying on fans or high-temperature elements. In practice, this means product held for two or three hours retains much of its moisture and texture — a meaningful operational advantage in any site where rotisserie output needs to be staggered or held ahead of a busy service period. It accepts up to 24 chicken boats, which translates to a useful buffer between oven cycles in high-throughput environments.
From an operational standpoint, the key advantages are:
- Extended holding without significant moisture or quality loss
- Consistent temperature throughout the cabinet interior
- Accommodates full-size sheet pans for flexible product holding
- Stainless steel construction suited to daily commercial use
- Single-phase power supply — no specialist electrical installation required
The cabinet is floor-standing and substantial in both footprint and weight, so access routes, floor loadings, and service clearance should all be considered before ordering. It is designed to pair with the Alto-Shaam electric rotisserie oven range, and sites running that oven will find the two units work well as a coordinated system.
This unit is well suited to supermarket hot counters, food-to-go operations, large canteens, and contract catering sites with consistent rotisserie demand. For smaller operations with lower daily throughput, a reduced-capacity holding unit may be a more practical fit. Conversely, very high-volume sites running multiple oven loads simultaneously may benefit from looking at a larger holding configuration.
If you are unsure whether the AR-7HT fits your production volumes or site layout, our team is happy to work through the detail with you before you commit.

The Alto-Shaam VECTOR VMC-H4H is a multi-cook oven with four independent cooking chambers stacked within a single compact unit. Each chamber operates at its own temperature, fan speed, and cook time simultaneously, which means four entirely different dishes can be cooked at the same time without flavour transfer or cross-contamination. This is not a combi oven and it is not a conveyor: it is a dedicated multi-chamber oven built around Alto-Shaam's Structured Air Technology, which uses a precisely directed air pattern within each chamber to achieve consistent results without the use of steam.
In a busy service environment, the practical implication is significant. A kitchen that would previously have needed multiple single-purpose ovens to run pastry, proteins, vegetables, and baked goods concurrently can consolidate that output into one unit. Recovery between loads is handled independently per chamber, so a door opening on one shelf does not affect cooking conditions in the others. The ventless operation means the unit does not require a hood or canopy extraction above it, which removes one of the more common installation constraints in tight or older kitchen layouts.
From an operational standpoint, the key advantages are:
- Four fully independent chambers: different menu items running simultaneously with no flavour transfer
- Ventless operation removes the requirement for overhead extraction
- Compact 546mm wide footprint allows counter or pass placement where space is limited
- LED door lighting and a wide viewing window support monitoring without opening chambers
- Simple control interface reduces training time for kitchen staff
Installation is straightforward relative to the output the unit provides. It runs on three-phase power, so the electrical supply must be confirmed before ordering: a single-phase supply will not be sufficient. The unit is countertop-mounted and at 161kg it needs a stable, level surface rated for the weight. No water connection is required. Because the unit is ventless, placement flexibility is genuine, but ambient temperature in the kitchen and adequate air circulation around the unit should still be considered.
The VMC-H4H is well suited to operations where menu diversity and space efficiency are both priorities: hotel kitchens, contract catering units, busy café operations, and production kitchens where multiple menu items need to run through the oven simultaneously. It suits medium to high output service where the flexibility of independent chambers adds real workflow value. For sites with very high volume or a need for steam-based cooking, a combi oven or a larger-format multi-cook configuration may be worth considering instead.
If you are unsure whether this unit fits your current setup or service volume, the team is happy to talk through the specifics with you before you commit to an order.
£8,199.00(£9,838.80 inc VAT)
The Alto-Shaam AR-7H/SP is a single pane hot holding cabinet designed to work alongside a rotisserie oven, keeping cooked product at consistent serving temperature until it reaches the customer. Rather than using conventional convected heat, it relies on Alto-Shaam's Halo Heat technology — a low-wattage, radiant heating system that surrounds product with gentle, even warmth. The result is food held at precise temperatures for extended periods without the surface drying, skin toughening, or moisture loss that typically comes with blast-style holding.
In practice, this cabinet earns its place in operations where the gap between production and service is unpredictable. A busy supermarket rotisserie counter, a food-to-go outlet, or a catering operation running staggered service all face the same challenge: product needs to be ready before demand peaks, then held without quality loss. The AR-7H/SP handles that hold time reliably, maintaining product condition across a full service period rather than just the first half hour.
Key operational advantages include:
- Consistent hold temperature without the drying associated with forced-air systems
- Capacity for up to 24 chickens, or eight full-size sheet pans in alternative configurations
- Single phase electrical connection, keeping installation straightforward
- Stainless steel construction suited to high-frequency cleaning routines
- Companion design matched to the Alto-Shaam AR-7E rotisserie oven
Installation is relatively uncomplicated — single phase power, no gas, no water connection, and no ventilation extract required in most standard configurations. That said, at 164kg the cabinet requires appropriate flooring and careful positioning during installation. Access width should be confirmed before delivery is arranged.
This cabinet is well suited to food-to-go operations, supermarket counters, and catering kitchens running rotisserie programmes at moderate to high volume. For sites with significantly higher throughput or multi-product holding requirements, a larger capacity unit may be worth considering.
If you're building a rotisserie programme and want to be confident the holding side matches your production capacity and service pattern, we're happy to talk it through before you commit.
£17,485.00(£20,982.00 inc VAT)
The Alto-Shaam VECTOR VMC-H2H is a countertop multi-cook oven with two fully independent cooking chambers, each controlled separately for temperature, fan speed and time. Unlike a conventional single-cavity oven, each chamber operates in isolation, so two different dishes can be cooked simultaneously without flavour transfer or compromise on either programme. It can run on single phase (230V) or three phase (400V) power and sits on a standard countertop, accepting full GN 1/1 pans or half-size sheet pans in each chamber.
In busy service environments, the real value of the VECTOR format is flexibility without footprint penalty. A kitchen that might otherwise need two separate ovens to run concurrent programmes (roasting in one, finishing in another) can consolidate that into a single unit. Alto-Shaam's Structured Air Technology drives airflow precisely within each chamber, which supports consistent results and helps reduce the temperature recovery time that typically follows door opening during service.
From an operational standpoint, this format suits outlets where menu variety and output speed matter but bench space is genuinely limited:
- Two chambers run fully independently: temperature, fan speed and time per cavity
- Ventless operation removes the need for a hood directly above the unit
- LED door lighting and a large glass viewing area support monitoring without opening
- Single phase (230V) or three phase (400V) connection keeps installation straightforward in most existing setups
- Compact footprint allows placement in prep areas, on servery counters or in back-of-house finishing stations
Because the unit is ventless, it is not restricted to positions beneath extraction canopies, which gives more flexibility over where it sits in the kitchen. That said, ambient ventilation in the immediate area should still be adequate. Placing any oven in a poorly ventilated enclosed space is worth thinking through at the planning stage. At 103kg the unit will need more than one person to reposition.
The VMC-H2H is well suited to cafés, hotel kitchens, grab-and-go operations, and finishing kitchens where two concurrent cook programmes cover most of the menu demand. For sites running higher volumes or needing more chambers simultaneously, Alto-Shaam produce larger VECTOR configurations that may be a better fit.
If you are unsure whether a two-chamber unit covers your throughput requirements, or have questions about how this sits alongside your existing equipment, the team is happy to work through it with you before you commit.
£22,128.00(£26,553.60 inc VAT)
The Alto-Shaam 1200-SK/SX is a large-capacity electric smoker oven designed for commercial kitchens that need to smoke, cook, and hold significant volumes of food within a single unit. It houses two independent compartments in one footprint, each capable of accepting a full rack of 1/1 GN pans, giving operators the flexibility to run different programmes simultaneously without cross-contamination of smoke or temperature.
In busy kitchen environments, the 1200-SK/SX performs reliably across extended service periods. Alto-Shaam's Halo Heat technology — a low-energy, uniform radiant heat system — keeps food moist and reduces shrinkage, which matters considerably when smoking large cuts or high-value proteins over several hours. The dual-compartment design means one side can be smoking a batch while the other holds finished product at serving temperature, keeping throughput consistent without compromising quality.
From a practical standpoint, this unit removes many of the inefficiencies associated with traditional smoking methods:
- Real wood chip smoking delivers authentic flavour without specialist extraction infrastructure
- Halo Heat reduces moisture loss, supporting better yield and portion consistency
- Independent compartments allow simultaneous smoking and holding programmes
- Icon-based touch controls and a single knob make operation straightforward for kitchen staff
- Up to eight programmable recipes support consistency across service shifts
The unit runs on single-phase power, which simplifies installation in most commercial premises, though the weight and footprint will require careful positioning — ideally with clear access to the rear for servicing. Ventilation requirements should be assessed before installation; while this is an electric unit, wood chip smoking still generates smoke that will need appropriate extraction. The stainless steel construction is suited to kitchen hygiene standards and day-to-day cleaning.
This smoker oven is well suited to restaurants, hotel kitchens, BBQ concepts, deli operations, and contract caterers where smoked product forms a regular part of the menu. It is sized for high-volume output, so smaller operations with occasional smoking needs may find a lower-capacity model more appropriate. For sites running continuous, very high-output smoking programmes across multiple menus, it is worth discussing whether additional capacity would be beneficial.
If you are unsure whether this model fits your kitchen's volume, service pattern, or installation setup, we are happy to talk it through before you commit to anything.
£25,289.00(£30,346.80 inc VAT)
The Alto-Shaam VECTOR VMC-H4H DX is a multi-cook oven that divides a single cabinet into four independently controlled cooking chambers, each with its own temperature, fan speed, and timer settings. This means four entirely different menu items can cook simultaneously without any transfer of flavour, moisture, or aroma between chambers, something a conventional combi or deck oven simply cannot offer. The deluxe control version adds an image-driven recipe interface, unlimited recipe steps and actions, work instructions, HACCP logging, and Wi-Fi connectivity for remote management and menu updates.
In a busy service environment, the practical value of this becomes clear quickly. A kitchen running a varied menu (proteins, pastry, vegetables, and heated accompaniments all needed at once) would ordinarily require multiple pieces of equipment or careful timing. The VECTOR handles this within a single compact footprint, which makes it particularly useful during peak periods when oven space and speed of service are both under pressure. The Structured Air Technology directs heated air precisely within each chamber, which supports consistent results across a full service without the need for constant monitoring or rack rotation.
Key operational advantages include:
- Four independent chambers eliminate the need for separate ovens for different menu items
- Ventless operation removes the need for extraction canopy installation
- Wi-Fi connectivity allows menu and recipe management without interrupting service
- HACCP data logging supports compliance records without manual intervention
- LED door lighting and a wide glass viewing area allow quick visual checks without opening chambers
The oven runs on three-phase power at 12.7kW and does not require a water connection or external ventilation, which simplifies installation considerably. It can be countertop-mounted and positioned in locations where a ducted hood is not available or practical, a meaningful advantage in sites with fixed infrastructure. At 161kg, it will need careful handling to position safely, and the supporting surface will need to be rated accordingly. The compact footprint makes it a realistic option for smaller kitchens, dark kitchens, and grab-and-go operations, though it is worth confirming your three-phase supply is accessible at the intended location before committing.
This oven is well suited to operations with varied menus and limited kitchen space: hotels, restaurants, contract catering, and high-throughput grab-and-go sites are all common environments. The deluxe control package is particularly relevant where multiple staff members are using the oven and consistency across shifts matters. For very high-volume sites running large-batch cookery, a higher-capacity configuration may be worth considering alongside this model.
If you would like to talk through whether this oven fits your menu, your kitchen layout, or your existing electrical supply, the team is happy to work through it with you before you order.
£24,498.00(£29,397.60 inc VAT)
The Alto-Shaam AR-7EVH/SP is a three-phase electric rotisserie oven with a self-contained ventless hood system. Designed to hold up to 28 chickens, it is built for continuous high-volume production and is equally at home in a back-of-house kitchen or positioned as a front-of-house display unit — without the need for a fixed overhead extraction canopy. The integrated venting system draws steam, smoke, grease and odours through internal filtration, making it practical for locations where traditional extraction cannot be installed.
In a busy service environment, rotisserie volume and recovery are critical. This unit is engineered to handle sustained throughput across multiple loads, maintaining consistent cooking conditions through back-to-back cycles. The stainless steel construction is well suited to the demands of commercial kitchen environments where durability and ease of cleaning are day-to-day priorities.
From an operational standpoint, the ventless design opens up placement options that a conventional rotisserie simply cannot match:
- No fixed canopy or extraction ductwork required, reducing installation cost and complexity
- Suitable for front-of-house display cooking, supporting theatre and retail appeal
- Self-contained grease and odour filtration supports hygiene compliance
- Stainless steel interior and exterior simplify end-of-day cleaning routines
- Three-phase supply provides the power headroom needed for rapid recovery between loads
Installation does require a three-phase electrical supply, so this is an important consideration before specifying. At 218kg, positioning and access during installation will need planning — particularly in tighter kitchen environments or where the unit is being placed front-of-house. The footprint is substantial, so confirming available floor space and service access is worthwhile early in the process.
This rotisserie is well suited to supermarkets, food-to-go retailers, large casual dining operations, hotel kitchens, and contract catering sites producing high volumes of rotisserie product consistently across service. For lower-volume sites or kitchens with existing extraction infrastructure, smaller or simpler rotisserie options may be more appropriate. For sites looking to run even greater volumes, higher-capacity alternatives are available.
If you are unsure whether the ventless specification suits your site, or want to talk through placement and electrical requirements before committing, our team is happy to work through the details with you.
£20,547.00(£24,656.40 inc VAT)
The Alto-Shaam VECTOR VMC-H2H DX is a multi-cook oven that operates two fully independent cooking chambers within a single compact unit. Each chamber runs at its own temperature, fan speed, and cook time simultaneously, allowing entirely different menu items to be cooked at the same time without flavour transfer or scheduling conflicts. This is made possible by Alto-Shaam's Structured Air Technology, which directs heated air precisely within each chamber rather than relying on a shared environment.
In a busy kitchen, the practical value of this becomes apparent quickly. A chef can roast one protein in the upper chamber while finishing a baked dish in the lower, both completing to spec without compromise. Because the chambers are independently controlled, there is no need to stagger cooking times or hold one item while the other catches up. Recovery between loads is consistent, which matters during sustained service periods where the oven rarely sits idle.
The Deluxe control specification adds a touchscreen interface with image-supported recipe programming, multi-step cook sequences, HACCP logging, and Wi-Fi connectivity. For operations that need to standardise output across shifts or multiple sites, this level of programmability reduces reliance on individual skill and supports consistent results. Practical advantages for the operator include:
- Two fully independent chambers replace the need for two separate ovens
- Ventless operation removes the requirement for a dedicated extraction canopy
- Compact footprint suited to tight kitchen layouts or counter-top installation
- Recipe library with image prompts supports consistent output across staff
- HACCP data logging assists with food safety compliance and audit records
Because the oven operates without requiring a canopy, placement is flexible: it can sit on a counter or stand in locations where conventional oven installation would not be practical. The stainless steel construction is straightforward to clean and built to withstand regular commercial use. It is worth confirming your available power supply prior to ordering, as the oven can run on single phase (230V) or three phase (400V) power.
The VMC-H2H DX is well suited to operations that need cooking flexibility within a limited footprint: café kitchens, hotel serveries, contract catering units, and smaller restaurant kitchens where space is constrained but menu variety is not. For higher-volume operations requiring additional chamber capacity, larger models in the VECTOR range offer three or four independent chambers. If you are unsure whether the two-chamber configuration fits your service volume or menu requirements, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit.
£4,660.00(£5,592.00 inc VAT)
The Alto-Shaam 400-HW/D6 is a drop-in hot food well designed to hold four full-size 1/1 GN pans at safe serving temperature using Alto-Shaam's Halo Heat technology. Unlike conventional steam wells, Halo Heat uses gentle, radiant warmth distributed around each pan rather than boiling water beneath it. The result is consistent, even holding without the moisture, condensation, and food-quality degradation that steam systems often produce.
In a busy service environment, the difference becomes clear quickly. Food held in a steam well can become waterlogged or uneven in temperature, particularly during extended service periods or when the well is partially loaded. Halo Heat maintains a stable temperature across the full pan, which means food quality holds up through the service period rather than deteriorating over time. Recovery after loading fresh pans is reliable, and because there is no water involved, operators are not managing water levels, descaling equipment, or dealing with steam burns during service.
From a practical standpoint, the operational advantages are straightforward:
- No water connection required — only a standard electrical hookup is needed
- No descaling, no limescale, no water-related maintenance
- Reduced humidity around the well, which benefits the surrounding counter and food presentation
- Even temperature holding across all four pan positions simultaneously
- Stainless steel construction suited to commercial daily use and regular cleaning
Installation is straightforward relative to a steam well. There is no plumbing to run, no drain to connect, and no water supply to plan around — a significant consideration during a counter fit-out or refurbishment. The unit is designed to drop into a fabricated or proprietary servery counter opening. It is worth confirming your counter cut-out dimensions against the unit's footprint before ordering, and ensuring your electrical supply is suitably positioned.
This unit is well suited to carveries, canteens, pub kitchens, and hospitality operations running a buffet or servery counter where four-pan capacity meets the throughput demand. For smaller operations or tighter counter runs, a lower-capacity model may be more appropriate. Equally, sites running extended service periods or very high covers may want to consider a larger-capacity configuration to reduce the frequency of pan changes.
If you are planning a servery counter build or refurbishment and want to discuss whether this unit fits your layout and service volume, the team is happy to work through the details with you.
£8,644.00(£10,372.80 inc VAT)
The Alto-Shaam 1000-UP is a double compartment holding cabinet designed to keep large volumes of prepared food at safe, consistent serving temperatures for extended periods. Built in stainless steel and standing at just under two metres tall, it is a substantial piece of equipment suited to high-output kitchens where food is prepared in advance of service and needs to be held without any loss of quality.
The cabinet uses Alto-Shaam's Halo Heat system, which circulates gentle, uniform warmth around the food rather than using a fan or intense direct heat. In practical terms, this means proteins retain moisture, pastry stays crisp rather than steaming soft, and batch-cooked dishes hold their texture and appearance across a long service period. For kitchens running split shifts or banqueting operations where large volumes must be ready and waiting, this approach to holding is noticeably better than conventional heated cabinets.
From an operational standpoint, the benefits are straightforward:
- Food can be prepared hours ahead of service without quality loss, freeing up cook time during the peak period.
- Reduced shrinkage and moisture loss compared to fan-assisted holding, which directly lowers food cost over time.
- Two independent compartments allow different food types to be held simultaneously at different temperatures.
- The digital thermostat gives clear, accurate temperature monitoring, which supports food safety record-keeping.
- Shelves are removable for cleaning, keeping daily maintenance practical in a busy kitchen.
At 128kg and with a footprint of 608mm wide by 804mm deep, this is not a cabinet to position as an afterthought. It requires a dedicated floor space, good access for loading and unloading, and a suitable electrical supply. Anyone specifying this for a new or refurbished kitchen should factor in its height and weight when planning workflow around it.
The 1000-UP is well suited to large hotel kitchens, event catering operations, contract catering sites, and central production units where holding capacity is a genuine operational priority. For smaller kitchens or those with more modest holding requirements, a single-compartment model from the same range may be a more proportionate choice. For sites running very high volumes continuously, a larger or multi-unit configuration may be worth exploring.
If you are unsure whether this cabinet is the right fit for your kitchen's throughput and workflow, our team is happy to talk it through before you commit.
£4,596.00(£5,515.20 inc VAT)
The Alto-Shaam 500-3D is a three-drawer holding unit built around Alto-Shaam's Halo Heat system — a low-wattage, radiant heat cable that wraps the entire cavity rather than relying on a fan or element to force hot air around the food. The result is a stable, even heat environment that holds food at serving temperature without continuing to cook it or draw out moisture.
In practice, this makes a noticeable difference during service. Proteins stay juicier for longer, portion-ready items maintain their texture, and operators have a wider holding window before quality starts to decline. For kitchens running multiple covers or dealing with uneven service flow, that margin is genuinely useful. Each drawer operates independently, which means you can hold different items at different temperatures simultaneously — a practical advantage in kitchens preparing varied menus.
Key operational characteristics include:
- Independent drawer control for multi-temperature holding across three zones
- Radiant Halo Heat system minimises moisture loss during extended holding
- Wide temperature range supporting everything from delicate pastry to hot roasted meats
- Self-contained unit with no external water connection required
- Straightforward drawer mechanism with accessible interior for cleaning
The unit is a freestanding or countertop installation — it does not require a water supply or extract ventilation, which simplifies placement considerably. At 68kg it is weighty enough that positioning should be planned in advance, particularly if it is going onto a shelf or counter with a load rating to consider. Electrical connection should be confirmed with a qualified installer before fitting.
The 500-3D suits operations where consistent hold quality matters as much as throughput — gastro pubs, hotel kitchens, restaurant pass areas, and catering operations where food is prepared in batches ahead of service. For higher-volume operations requiring more drawer capacity, larger configurations within the Alto-Shaam range are worth considering.
If you are unsure whether this model fits your service volumes or pass layout, our team is happy to work through the specifics with you before you commit.
£9,335.00(£11,202.00 inc VAT)
The Alto-Shaam 1200-UP/SR is a large-format heated holding cabinet built around two independently controlled compartments stacked within a single unit. Each section operates at its own temperature, allowing operators to hold different food types simultaneously without cross-contamination of heat zones. The cabinet uses Alto-Shaam's Halo Heat technology — a gentle, radiant low-wattage heating system — rather than forced air or humidity injection, which helps maintain food quality over extended holding periods without drying out surface textures or over-cooking held product.
In busy kitchen environments, the ability to hold large quantities of food at precise temperatures without constant monitoring is operationally valuable. The dual-zone configuration suits services where the menu demands different holding temperatures at the same time — roasted proteins alongside delicate fish or vegetable dishes, for example. The temperature range of 16°C to 93°C gives operators meaningful flexibility across a broad menu range, and the independent controls mean one section can be adjusted or switched without affecting the other.
Key practical advantages for kitchen teams include:
- Two independently controlled zones within a single footprint — holds more without expanding the floor plan
- Gentle Halo Heat system reduces moisture loss and preserves food presentation during holding
- Wide temperature range accommodates a broad variety of menu items simultaneously
- Stainless steel construction supports rigorous cleaning routines and withstands heavy daily use
- Reduces the pressure on pass timing during peak service by extending safe holding windows
At 151kg and standing just under two metres tall, this is a substantial piece of equipment. It requires careful placement — access for loading from both front and sides should be considered during kitchen planning, and the floor must be capable of supporting the loaded weight. Connection is straightforward electrically, but positioning relative to the pass and prep areas will affect how efficiently the unit integrates into the service flow.
This cabinet is well suited to high-volume operations: hotel kitchens, event catering facilities, contract caterers, and large restaurant groups running split or extended services. For smaller kitchens or more modest service volumes, a single-section holding cabinet is likely sufficient and more practical in terms of footprint and running cost. For sites with very high throughput or additional holding requirements, larger-capacity configurations exist within the Alto-Shaam range.
If you are unsure whether the dual-zone configuration is the right fit for your service style, or if you would like to talk through placement and integration with your existing kitchen layout, the team is happy to work through the detail with you before you commit.
£34,367.00(£41,240.40 inc VAT)
The Alto-Shaam Converge CMC-H3H DX is a three-shelf multi-cook oven that houses three fully independent cooking chambers within a single footprint. Each chamber operates using Alto-Shaam's Structured Air Technology, a system that delivers precisely directed hot air to accelerate cooking and improve consistency, combined with the flexibility of combi-style cooking modes including steam, bake, grill, and air fry. Because the three chambers are entirely independent, different menu items can be cooked simultaneously at different temperatures and modes with no flavour transfer between them.
In a busy kitchen environment, this independence has a direct impact on throughput. A kitchen running a varied menu no longer needs to sequence courses or dedicate separate pieces of equipment to different cooking methods. All three chambers can run concurrently during peak service, which allows smaller brigades to maintain output without increasing labour. The self-cleaning function reduces downtime between services and keeps hygiene compliance straightforward.
From an operational standpoint, the unit offers several practical advantages worth noting:
- Three independent chambers allow simultaneous multi-mode cooking without flavour cross-contamination
- Structured Air Technology improves cooking consistency and reduces overall cook times
- Ventless design removes the requirement for a traditional canopy extraction hood
- Self-cleaning system reduces manual cleaning time and supports hygiene compliance
- Deluxe control interface allows precise, repeatable programme management across all three chambers
Because this is a three-phase unit drawing 13.4kW, the electrical supply and connection point need to be confirmed before installation. At 179kg, structural flooring and access routes should also be assessed prior to delivery. The ventless operation is a genuine advantage for kitchens where extraction is limited or costly to install, though ventilation requirements should still be verified against the installation guidelines for the specific site.
This oven is well suited to restaurants, hotels, and contract catering operations running varied menus where flexibility and throughput matter as much as volume. It is particularly useful in kitchens where space is at a premium but the menu demands multiple concurrent cooking methods. For higher-volume operations requiring greater rack capacity, larger models in the Converge range may be worth considering.
If you're weighing up whether this unit fits your kitchen's workflow, service volumes, and electrical setup, our team is happy to talk it through before you commit.
£20,349.00(£24,418.80 inc VAT)
The Alto-Shaam 1750-TH/SX is a large-capacity, low-temperature cook and hold oven designed for commercial kitchens that need to produce and hold substantial volumes of cooked food reliably throughout a service period. It houses two independent cooking compartments within a single footprint, each operating separately so operators can run different products, temperatures, or holding programmes simultaneously. Control is kept deliberately straightforward: an icon-based touch interface combined with a single knob handles temperature setting, cook time, and hold time, with capacity to store up to eight programmable recipes. Cooking can be managed by time or via a single temperature probe, making it accessible to kitchen teams without extensive training.
At the core of the oven is Alto-Shaam's Halo Heat technology — a fanless, waterless gentle radiant heat system that surrounds food evenly without forced air circulation. In practice this means less moisture loss during the cooking process, better yield from expensive proteins, and food that holds its quality over extended periods rather than drying out or degrading. For operations cooking large joints, whole birds, or batch quantities of portioned proteins ahead of service, this translates directly into more consistent plate output and reduced waste across a shift.
From an operational standpoint, the dual-cavity configuration is one of the more useful aspects of this unit. Key practical advantages include:
- Independent compartment control allows different products to cook or hold simultaneously
- Halo Heat technology reduces shrinkage and moisture loss for better yield
- Up to eight stored recipes support consistent, repeatable production across shifts
- Fanless design means no forced-air cross-contamination between compartments
- Simple icon-based controls reduce training time and operator error
Installation considerations are worth reviewing carefully at this scale. At 158kg the unit requires a firm, level surface capable of bearing the load, and delivery and positioning will typically need more than one person. The footprint is substantial at just over a metre deep, so space planning matters, particularly in kitchens with tight service corridors or restricted back-of-house areas. Electrical connection requirements should be confirmed with your installation contractor before ordering, and as with any cook and hold equipment, ventilation in the surrounding area should be assessed.
This oven is well suited to high-volume operations: hotel banqueting, large contract catering facilities, central production kitchens, and busy pub or restaurant groups running significant covers. It is particularly valuable where overnight or extended cook cycles are part of the production model. For kitchens with lower throughput demands, smaller single-cavity models in the range may be a more proportionate fit; equally, operations with exceptionally high volumes or more complex multi-zone cooking needs may want to explore alternatives before committing.
If you are weighing up whether this unit is the right scale for your operation, or have questions about installation requirements specific to your site, the team is happy to talk it through before you make a decision.

The Alto-Shaam 750-SK/SX is a self-contained electric smoker oven designed for commercial kitchens that want to introduce or expand smoked menu items without the complexity and labour of traditional smoking methods. Using real wood chips, it infuses authentic smoke flavour into meat, fish, poultry, and other foods, while the built-in Halo Heat system maintains a gentle, consistent surround temperature throughout the cook cycle. The result is controlled, repeatable smoking that doesn't require a dedicated pitmaster or constant supervision.
In practice, the 750-SK/SX suits operations running modest volumes of smoked product — whether as a daily prep item, a weekend special, or a consistent feature of the menu. Halo Heat distributes warmth evenly rather than relying on direct radiant heat, which reduces moisture loss and helps maintain product yield across the cook. Recovery after loading is steady, and because it holds as well as cooks, it can be used to bridge the gap between production and service without quality degrading.
From an operational standpoint, this unit removes several of the barriers that put kitchens off smoking:
- Icon-based touch controls with a single dial — straightforward for any member of the kitchen team to operate
- Cook-by-time or single temperature probe — flexibility to suit different products and recipes
- Up to eight programmable recipe slots — consistent results across different shifts and operators
- Real wood chip smoking — authentic flavour without gas or external combustion equipment
- Cook and hold capability — reduces last-minute pressure during service
On installation, the 750-SK/SX is electrically powered and compact relative to its capacity, though at 102kg it will need appropriate handling on delivery and positioning. Kitchens should confirm adequate ventilation is in place, as smoke output will need to be managed — extraction or a suitable ventilation solution is an important consideration before installation. It accepts 1/1 GN full-size pans, making it straightforward to integrate with existing gastronorm kit.
This model is the smallest in the Alto-Shaam smoker oven range and is well suited to independent restaurants, gastro pubs, hotel kitchens, and catering operations producing smoked items a few times per week up to daily. If your volume requirements are higher, or smoking is central to your core menu at scale, it's worth considering whether a larger-capacity model would be a better fit for the workload.
If you're unsure whether this unit is the right size for what you're planning to produce, we're happy to talk through the volumes and help you make the right call before you commit.
